Chapter 3 Network Setup

The Ethernet port on the back panel of the SE-650 allows the user to import Still/Clip image or User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software discussed in Chapter 5. This chapter discusses direct connection between the SE-650 and your Windows computer as well as the remote setup in detail. Please note that the Switcher Image Import/Export software must be installed on

your Windows-based computer before using this feature.

3.1 Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer

When new from the factory the SE-650 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.1.101. The

unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.

• An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

• Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.

• The Datavideo Switcher Image

Import/Export software.

Instructions

1. First connect the SE-650 and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.

2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and

Sharing Centre. In our example below the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.

3. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

3.2 Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a Windows Computer

The SE-650 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based software. If you have not already set up the SE-650 with a computer then please follow the instructions in the previous section.

Please download the latest software from the Datavideo SE-650 web page. See: www.datavideo.com

The install executable file [.msi] will be called SwitcherImageImEx_vXXXX.msi

The vXXXX represents the latest version number.

Double click this .msi file then follow the on screen install wizard prompts.

Once installed launch the Switcher Image Import/Export software.

The Switcher Image Import/Export software has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Please note IP finder can only find devices that are on the same network domain as the PC. If you cannot remember your device IP, please press the RESET button to restore the default network settings. Upon launch of the Switcher Image Import/Export software, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card.

Once selected, click OK to start the scanning process.

Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network domain as the SE-650 device.

Once the SE-650 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher hardware over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the Connect Status will show “Connected” (will display Not Connected if disconnected).

3.2.1 Router Based DHCP Setup

The computer software can also access the SE-650 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the SE-650, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a simplified network setup example below, further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.

To create this simple dedicated SE-650 IP network you will need:

• An IP router which can assign/give IP

addresses.

• Two RJ-45 patch leads.

• Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.

• The IP router Administrator login and

password.

• The Datavideo Switcher

Image Import/Export software.

Instructions

1. First connect the router to the SE-650 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.

2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to DHCP setup within the Windows Network and

Sharing Centre.

3. Now click the Windows start button and run the CMD prompt window.

4. At the command line > : _ type IPCONFIG and press enter.

5. The DEFAULT GATEWAY number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.

6. Enter the DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.

7. The web browser should display the login window for the router. Enter the router’s login and/or

password. The login details may be written on a sticker on the router itself or noted in the manual for the

router.

8. Once logged into the router we need to change the router to supply IP addresses in the

192.168.1.xxx range. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option to set the router’s IP address as 192.168.1.1 and click save / apply.

9. Now reboot the router and power ON the SE-650.

10. Log into the router again using the web browser and the router’s new IP address 192.168.1.1

11. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option again, within this option there should be

another option called Address Reservation or Client List.

12. The two devices connected to the router should be listed here, the computer and the SE-650.

13. The computer, because it is set for DHCP, will already have an IP address automatically assigned to

it in this list.

14. The SE-650 will also be listed with its default IP address of 192.168.1.101 if it is not changed.

15. Click save / apply then reboot the router again.

16. Close the web browser and CMD windows.

17. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

3.2.2 Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export Software

Click Setup button in the MENU SELECT pane and the current IP Network settings are shown alongside the software version.

If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the SE-650. Always keep a note of the last IP settings used and change these settings carefully to avoid problems.

Target IP address – This IP address is the location on the local network, or the internet, where the software can talk to the SE-650. By clicking the Target IP address you can enter a new address, once entered click Save Setup. The next time the Image Import/Export Software is opened, it will try to contact the switcher on this new Target IP address.

Network – This option in the yellow menu column allows you to change the network options on the SE-650. When delivered from the factory the default static IP settings should be:

Addr Mode: Static (a manually set IP address that does not change even after power cycling the SE-650 unit)

Target IP address: 192.168.1.101 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DHCP Setup - If the IP set up method is changed to DHCP then each time the SE-650 is started, it may

be given a different IP address by the network. Only use this method if you know how to find the SE650 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the SE-650. The other settings such as IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway may appear blank within the Switcher Image Import/Export software as these would be automatically set by network router/DHCP server.

4.7.7 Important things to note while creating Stinger Transition Effects

When using Datavideo’s SE-650 Multi-Channel Switcher to design and create the Stinger Transition Effects, in addition to being creative, there are a few things that you need to take into account of.

1. Length limit of the stinger transition animation

The length of a good stinger transition animation should be approximately 0.5 to 2 seconds.

2. The SE-650 allows a maximum of 200 image files in an animation sequence

The number of image files will determine the length of stinger transition time.

3. While designing the animation, it is best to have an image that fills up the entire frame to create a satisfactory visual effect (please see the images below).

4.9.3 Tally Mode

Tally output port generally sends two tally signals to each channel. In Datavideo products, Red indicates On-Air, and Green indicates next camera source.

The SE-650 provides two tally modes: Normal: If in normal mode, tally lights of all camera sources displayed on the PGM monitor will be turned ON (Red). These sources include PGM, PIP and Key sources. While transition is in progress, the next video will be seen on the PGM monitor, tally light of the PVW source camera will thus also be turned ON (Red).

Audio Mixer: If Audio Mixer mode is selected, tally light of the PGM source camera selected on the keyboard panel will be turned ON (Red). While transition is in progress, the tally light color will remain unchanged. The tally light color will only change (Red/Green) after the transition of PGM and PVW views is complete.
